patriciag95's review against another edition

It's so boring. I kept hearing so much about this book when I was searching for taboo recommendations, but this was such a let down that I just couldn't force myself to finish. 

I'm sure there's people who will still like it because there's reverse harem, age gap, impact, dubcon, and other tropes that are popular. They're tropes I like too, but not the reason why I started reading. The let down caused a big enough disappointment to override any potential enjoyment.

Supposed it's taboo because they're her step uncle and two step cousins. She had never known any of them, and the step uncle didn't even have a relationship with her father who was his step brother. They were strangers unrelated to her.

I managed to get to 68% yet nothing exciting had happened plot wise, and she had still only slept with one of the guys. The author basically just drowned on about how monotonous life was for the FMC ever since she had moved in with the guys.

Only giving it a 4 star because I pictured them as not family. That was nasty and a no thank you. However the story line outside of that was decent.

Oh jeeze. This was unhinged. Did I enjoy it? …Yeeees? Look, it’s complicated. I couldn’t put it down, but there were some major issues.
First, this author has a habit of starting off her FMCs at age 17. Typically there’s a birthday thrown in the book (which there is here) but in this story I just feel like it didn’t come soon enough. Absolutely hated that.
Second, making her endgame MMC

not speak for the entire book

hindered the story in a huge way. What incentive did the reader really have to root for them, y’know?
Then there’s the more minor things:
Like why is her not-uncle shocked/angry that she has a bad attitude 3 days after her

parent’s suicide

?
WHY is everyone constantly going swimming with their clothes and shoes on?
I will say that the setting of this book was gorgeous, and I really enjoy the way this author writes. (She can write the hell out of a spicy scene,  and she definitely did that here.)
All in all folks, definitely check your trigger warnings before reading and don’t take them lightly.

~edit because I need to not write reviews at 1:30 am~

The spice in this book was in fact top tier. However, watch your triggers.

I did not like the main character at all. I found her annoying, and she had little to know growth as a character. I did like the brothers; in fact, I fell in love with one of them. I will admit that I also cried at the end, but that is because I am a hopeless romantic.

I have to knock a few points off just because there were some continuity issues in places, and spots where conversations didn't quite make sense. Could've used a little extra time in the editing department.
